The Albemarle Resolutions.

The following resolutions were offered In
the Albemarle (Va.) Republican convention
by ex-senator Early and enthusiastically
adopted:
The Republican party of Albemarle, In con-
venton assemb ed, rt rtcognizes with regret the
fact that portion Of the party In the state ad-
vocates negative policy OF binding oar rep
resentatves In the legislature not 10 enter into
and abide by the action OF the majority OF the
Republican caucus on the question Of the eloc
ton of n United States senator.
Believing that this line of policy Will create
strife within our ranks, be subyersiye OF all
party discipline, and, moreover, give aid and
nominees of this convention, II elected, to
enter into and be governed by the action of
the caucus on this and all other questions OF
party policy.
We hold that at this crisis In political affairs
when our entire strength and united councils
are imperatively necessary In order to elect a
majority on Joint ballot of the incoming legis-
laturc, 1t Is unwise and ineXpedient TO instruct
our nominees in favor OF or TO pass resolutions
pirHnt for senatorial honors.
We are confident that Gen. Malone, whose
name is prominently mentioned for senator,
and who occupies q somewhat delicate atti.
tude toward other aspirants for that honor,
owing to the influence which the fact of his
being chairman of the state committee confers
on him. does rot desire the Endorsements OF
county conventions, whose nominees, in many
instances, are readily to be dictated by his
that the delegates shall be left free and unin-
structed, to exercise wise discretion in select
ing the man best fitted to promote the interests
OF the party.

Not Enough.


" is not enough to abolish the federal
taxation on tobacco. The whole internal
revenue system should be wiped out, aud
the whisky tax should 20 with the rest
Let the states tax whisky just as much as
they like. II Is their right, and, in the view
Of many intelligent and earnest people, it is
their duty to tax 1t heavily. Indeed, many
citizens Of high intelligence and unquestion-
able sincerity hold most earnestly to the
idea that such taxation should be prohibi-
tory; in fact, that the manufacture OF
whisky and of all other forms OF alcoholic
liquor should be forbidden and entirely
stopped by the states.
But we are told that there is some pecu-
liar virtue In the federal tax on whisky
wherefore 1t should be perpetuated. Why
Is IL to restrict and check the manufacture
But that is no business of the federal gov
ernment. Federal legislation and federal
taxation are not moral agencies. All that
side Of the question belongs to the states
alone.
Abolish the whole internal revenue sys-
TEN and the accumulation Of great surplus
in the federal treasury, deranging the busi.
ness OF the country, destroying millions aud
millions Of property In day, and convert
ing prosperity into disaster, will be stopped
and prevented.

Mr.. Justice Millers plea for the Republican
party will not deceive either the present gem
Grafton or future ones "The thing that has
been IL the thing that shall be, and there is no
new thing under the sun" Read the history
OF England and you can guess what the his
tory of the United States will be so far aS the
great principles of constitutional liberty are
concerned. Hampden and Cromwell were
"rebels" They were in worse repute after
The restoration than ever confederate "reDeP

Of liberty we're also restored TO favor. So here
the Union shall be indissoluble, but the rights
Of the states shall be respected. "An indissolu

outcome of the war.
The words we itallcise can have but one
meaning when taken with what is written
above, and that Is that the men who at

That is what the Dispatch means, but lacks

The New York Herald says:


Tight money
Collections slow, discounts dlnicult to obtain,
and time loans refused on even the best col
latcrals-lhat's the situation in commercial
circles, ns the Hcidld has pointed out almost
daily for several weeks past.
The New York Commercial Bulletin, q
leading financial paper, with all the i'm
pressiyeness Of double leads, says:
And yet, with condition of things that
would ordinarily induce tho banks TO unquos.
tioningly meet the discount wants of the mer-
chants, we find them exercising Il degree of
caution which, to tell the TRUTH is seriously
impetiling wide range Of commercial houses
and threatening purely artificial collapse of
credit. Indeed, the whole responsi.
biliiy for the situation must rest with Congress
and the governments; with Congress, for hav-
ing permitted the finances to drift into such
a loose condition; with the government, for
the extent to which 1t exercises discretion
legally confded to 1t for adjusting embsrrass-
ing irregularities between income aud ex-
ptnditure. At present the government gives
Ho intimation of whnt II may be expected to
do in the exercise of this discretion. Thus far
its action, whether OF set policy or not, has
been to keep the loan market on the verge of
strinRency which exctes real alarm an Is
paraly zing commercial credit. This much
is undeniable, and no shop-keep ping pre-
tense Of buying bonds cheap, at the
expense OF arrestirg nm unprecedented
national prosperity, can Justify the ad.
minislration's course. Its penny-wise and
pound foolish policy has created oondi
tion Of things which makes necessary much
more liberal future disbursement than mighl
otherwise have been needed. The government
| indt cd, has made the mistake of putting itsel
| entirely at the mercy Of the public necessities
Al d, in order TO save the commercial c)mmu
| nifty, 1t is likely to have to resort to extrcn,
measures The more promptly and the more
literally It acts the less 1t will have to conceie
and The less responsibility to the public 1t will
| incur. We can appreciate the manifest de'ir,
Of he President aud the Secretary of the Treas.
ury to use their discretionary powers with cou-
servalism; but We hope 1t will be shown that
| they have the wisdom to understand that TN
| administration which so exercises Its dlscre
tion as to precipitate the col, ,psc of credit a1d

The Time for Action.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, Is not an
alarmist. Months ago 1t warned the coun-
try, and especially the President, against
the impending danger Of financial crisis.
1t showed time and again that the currency
Of the country was not sufficient for its
needs, and urged the necessity Of an extra
session Of Congress.
The President had no confidence In a
Democratic Congress, and it was not called
TO consider the emergency. Almost alone
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN continued for
months to urge the necessity OF some
action to avert danger. Now the leading
papers Of the country have awakened to the
danger and all are united in pressing action
of some kind, but they seem not to know
what should be done.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN gives an
immediate remedy. That should be adopted
and Congress convened In extra session by
the first day Of November at the farthest.
There is no time for delay and no ex use
for non-action.
Yesterday we gave from the New York
Sun the opinions Of q number of the lead.
ing business men Of New York. The
World OF yesterday contains the opinions
OF quite number OF others, and below we
give extracts from the New York papers on
this subject.
The New York World says
There are sl0D 10000 In the treasury more
than the government needs This idle money
is not only earning no interest, aud liable To
be squandered in extravagant appropriations,
but 1t has become a serious menace " business
prosperity.
The New York Times says:
The outcry over the stringenGy of the money
market becomes daily louder. Little else Is
talked OF in Wall street. From the south,
from the west, from New England-lrom all
over the counlrv-COme the same assurances
OF trouble because not enough money Is nj
command TO meet the needs Of legitimate
trade.
In Wall street are heard the chief protests.
Time loans cannot be raised there at any rate
Even call loans are made with ditlculty. a
very narrow list OF securitie, will be accepted
as collateral by the money lenders. Stock,
and bonds that stand high In the market (when
there is q markeD are thrown aside by the
banks.
1heseriousness of the situation Is not to be
belittled Distress is widespread because OF
the lack OF funds adequate TO demands at this
center. The south has absorbed millions In
its new enterprises. The west has taken mil
lions more. The gaping nav of the govern.
ments revenue agencies has gulped down still
more. There Is apparent unanmlty,
among those who most tank Of the danger at
hand, that the only hope left To avoid an out
right panic is through some action by the
Treasury Department
1t was stated down town yesterday that sew.

Mr.. Martin offered the following, which
was also adopted:
Drill of the Governor,s Grays.

The Governors Grays, Of Iowa, gave an
exhibition drill in front OF the Arlington
Hotel yesterday afternoon. There was q
very large crowd present, including many
National Guardsmen OF the city, all Of
whom were enthusiastic in their praise Of
the excellent drilling by the visitors. In
the execution of the manual they displayed
remarkable efficiency, while their foot
movements were something excellent. The

TnE administration has issued q circular
proposing to purchase $l4, 900 worth Of
United States bonds at the specific rate Of
Jos 10 for four-and-a-half bonds and 125
for fours. This purchase comp etes the
amount, as stated by Secretary Fairchild,
required by law to be retired during
the fiscal year for the sinking fund.
The circular provides for the purchase
Of the fours, which have twenty years to
run and are at II premium Of % per cent.
If $10,0O0,000 worth OF the bonds called for
should be fours, as 1t is probable they will
be, the premium paid on these S26,000,0OO
would amount to $3, $50, 900, and The public
deJt WiH hare been increased by that
amount Now that the Treasury De.
purtment has provided for the sinking
fund in its own way, but in a manner
that we consider unwarranted by law, the
administration can turn from the specu.
lators, who have SO urgently pressed the
method adopted, tn the men conducting
the legitimate business Of the country an :
provide for their relief The $l4 100000
provided for IN the circular alluded to viii
not relieve the merchants and those
engaged In the transportation o.
the crops. Having done what II
has in regard to the bonds, the
administration cannot hesitate, when it
considers the needs Of the count. y, to adopt
policy against which there Is no inhtb-
tion Of law, and which would Immediately
remove all financial trouble; that Is, to loan
100000, 900 ut per cent, per anuum inter
est on the security OF that amount
of United States bonds. This policy would
save $2000,00o per year in Interest," would
relieve all classes OF business, aud the peo-
pie would indorse 1t. Let the people have
relief.

1t seems as if we must
admit that the fall season
has really opened. At least,
the temperature has lost
a good deal of its mustard
seasoning. You will very
speedily be compelled to lay
aside the light straws, with
their null and gauzes and
fancy flowers; for neat and
tasteful as summer fashion
was, cool weather calls for
closer head covering and
appropriate trimmings of
a heavier texture.
We are positioned to
show you what fashion has
invented for the fall season
of 1887.
Every day we are receiv-
ing shapes in straw ana
felt goods-novelties and
accepted models of beauty
in Hats and BonneJs. On
Saturday we opened a line
of superb feathers, tips,
wings, &c., in numberless
variety, high-priced, mo-
dunn quality, and the mod
crate cost. All that the rib.
bon manufacturers have to
offer that is new we have
either received or are re-
ceiving daily; and in satins,
glace velveGs, and all the
We1ghtier textures our buy
ers have purchased with
liberality and commenda-
BILE judgment.
You are, therefore, in
vited TO inspect our lines of
millinery specialties. You
may not be ready to order
just yet, but we can show
you new goods that will de-
light your eye and may pos
sibly just strike your fancy.
